Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I'm worried for Zelda's chance of winning the GOTY 2017

So the more time passes from the Switch presentation, the more I feel worried for Zelda and its opportunity to win this year's GOTY, The reason ? Mario.

This year the competition is already tough with RDR2, ME: Andromeda, Horizon and The Last Guardian, but the true game that gets me scared is Super Mario Odyssey. The fact is that I'm scared that Mario could provide such a good experience that it could make people forget about Zelda, not necessarily because of it beeing an overall better game, but simply due to it likely providing a great experience and Zelda releasing so far apart from the GOTY awards that its greatness could be forgotten, What's worse is that Mario will likely outsell Zelda, providing a huge sustain for Mario in the general pubblic even though most of the people rooting for Mario won't have played Zelda.

Of course I still haven't tried neither of the games but even so I feel that Zelda has a disadvantage and it could end up causing Mario beeing nominated over Zelda unjustly.

What's your thoughts ? do you expect either of the two games to be nominated ? Do you think Mario has an advantge ?

Why worry about that? The important thing is that you enjoy it.



The best game will simply win. If Mario, or RDR2 or any other game turns out better, then more power to those games!

Though from what i've seen, both Mario and Breath of the Wild do look to be amazing games, regardless of nominations, and i'm sure when RDR2 gameplay is revealed that'll look great too!

Yeah, Mario Odyssey and Red Dead 2 might have something to say about it. To make things worse, Open World games are much harder to please people. There's so much that could go wrong, especially being Nintendo's first Zelda Open World game. The thing is, people will have had more time with Zelda than mario to even make that decision.



Yeah, its going to be a tough competition betwenn Zelda, Mario and Xenoblade(assuming it releases this year).It just makes this even more exciting!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I don't really think that's an issue

I'm really excited for Zelda but if Mario can be even more fun, I would be pretty happy about that too

They'll both be nominated and both win many of GoTY awards. Are you talking about one in particular?

Yeah, don't worry man. Just play the games you love, and love the games you play.



Does it really matter if it wins it or not? At the end of the day everyone has it's own GOTY.



                                                                                     

The last guardian?? Dude...

And if Cyberpunk 2077 releases this year chances are it will crush everything just like The Witcher 3 did. The only real competition is RDR2
